An original vaudeville programme from the Tivoli Theatre, Cape Town, South Africa, dated 5 July 1922, featuring artistes including Louis Seymour and Enos Bacon.

In the 1920s British and American variety performers regularly toured South Africa, and Cape Town’s theatres offered audiences a lively mix of music, comedy and speciality acts.

Overseas variety programmes like this rarely surface in the UK, making it an interesting addition to any collection of international theatre memorabilia and old theatre programmes.
